For concealed leaks inside walls, the technician uses leak detection to locate the exact point before opening the wall. Do not ignore small leaks — they cause structural damage and mould over time.
Why is my bathroom drain blocked and how to fix it?
Bathroom drain blockages in Delhi are most commonly caused by hair, soap scum, and debris buildup. Kitchen drain blocks are usually caused by oil and food waste. A plumber can clear drains using a drain snake (manual or electric), high-pressure jetting, or chemical treatment for stubborn blockages. Regular drain cleaning every 6 months prevents major blockages.
Can a plumber install a new geyser at home in Delhi?

How often should a water tank be cleaned in Delhi?

Tank cleaning costs ₹500–₹2,000 depending on tank size and type.
